(B) 1

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{\sin 85^{\circ}-\sin 35^{\circ}}{\cos 65^{\circ}}\)…

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

The vector equation of two lines are
\(\begin{aligned}
& \vec{r}=(1-t) \hat{\imath}+(t-2) \hat{\jmath}+(3-2 t) \hat{k} \\
& \vec{r}=(s+1) \hat{\imath}+(2 s-1) \hat{\jmath}-(2 s+1) \hat{k}
\end{aligned}\)
Then the shortest distance between them is
